Subdomain Setup

Question

I am trying to create two subdomain names:

• townsville.example.com
• brisbane.example.com

All subdomains would share the same database. They would be tied to the Pro license on example.com.

What is the best way to achieve this?

Do I have to copy index.php to each subdomain root folder?

Answer 1

If you create your folder structure like this:

craft/
public_html/
----townsville.example.com/
--------index.php
--------.htaccess
----brisbane.example.com/
--------index.php
--------.htaccess

And set the $craftPath variable in each index.php like this:

$craftPath = '../../craft';

It should do what you're looking for.
